Dolphins fans share their insights on the future of two of Miami’s top pass rushers with the team.
With two of our top pass rushers from the Miami Dolphins returning from injury and one of them due for a new deal, I asked the following question:
If both Phillips and Chubb return and play at a high level, should the team try to keep both of them, trade one of the two, or let Phillips walk at the end of the year?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
Dolfanjoe thinks it can all possibly work if Quinn Ewers steps up and Tua is traded away.
Can we keep them all ? Of course we can ! Just need our rookie 7th rounder to be the Man and trade off Tua ! Every team with a QB on a rookie contract has that advantage. And those are the years that are open to you putting it together and winning the big game ! And it does not last long, fleeting at best as we saw with our rebuild. Juggling a QB on his second contract and trying to keep the Vets happy is a tough pill to swallow. We are rebuilding right now but a partial rebuild. We were not close to the big game last year and i do not believe it will change this year. But we know for a fact last years team with injuries sure was not the right combination. So here we are with a possible better team, or a worse team. Not a dam thing to worry about till 26 !
TuaTime1! says trade or let walk to Chubb.
I believe that the team should try to keep Phillips. If Chubb doesn’t trade then post June 1st cut. I play Madden as the Fins and have won 17 Super Bowls.
Miami7 wants to see if Chubb is willing to accept a lower salary to stay in South Florida.
Oh, and, maybe Chubb would consider renegotiating that deal over release?
He soiytenly isn’t gettin’ that bank from ANYBODY and the Dolphins will just release him so - if he’s happy here maybe he considers a new deal?
SuperG! believes the choice is clear.
I wouldn’t retain Chubb but I’d definitely retain Phillips
sdphinsfan would like to see the team shift more towards drafting and developing their own talent.
To be a good Defense, you have to stop the run and you have to be able to pressure the QB. If you can’t do those two things, the rest really doesn’t matter. The best scenario to make it happen cap wise is to continually grow your own. The FA guys, for whatever reason, never seem to work out on the field and they’re terrible on the books. The key is to draft guys and develop them into productive players while on their rookie deals. JP and Chop are exactly what you want (more healthy would be nice)...
